Num. 23:9 A people dwelling alone shows Israel’s sense of being a chosen people, different from other nations.
Num. 23:10 The dust of Jacob suggests that God’s promise to the patriarchs has been fulfilled (see Gen. 13:16; 28:14). let my end be like his. That is, “Let me be like Jacob, in life and in death.”
Num. 23:13–30 Balaam observes that God does not change his mind, so the blessing already pronounced cannot be turned into a curse (vv. 19–20). Israel will be free from disaster (v. 21).
Num. 23:19 God is not man, that he should lie. Balaam is affirming God’s truthfulness in general (compare Titus 1:2). His promises to Israel will come to pass.
Num. 23:21 the shout of a king is among them. The king here is God himself, whose festivals are marked by shouts and trumpet blasts (e.g., 29:1).
Num. 23:23 Because God is with Israel, attempts to attack them with magic will fail.
Num. 23:24 lioness. This is a frightening image of Israel’s military might. It is an indirect warning to Balak not to attack them.
